How To Improve Concentration?
Hello Doctor,
Recently I have found myself struggling to pay attention in class since I started my second year in high school. The work load is more and I can't seem to focus in class for very long, especially when my classes are extended to an hour and a half. Is there any methods you know of that can help me focus more.
Thank you,
Peter Kirchner

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. A lot of individuals develop poor concentration and focus during studies. In most of them underlying anxiety or mild depression results in poor concentration. So if the concentration and attention issues are causing significant disturbance in studies then please visit a psychiatrist for help.
For good concentration I'd advise you to take supplements containing Vitamin B12, Vitamin E. These supplements help to improve the focus and will improve depressive symptoms if any. Supplements containing Omega-3-Fatty Acids are also found to be very useful in improving focus. Relaxation exercises, yoga and meditation etc also help in improving the focus.
Thanks, Take care
